2005 111r

I made such an impression on the Salesman at Car Deal Warehouse when buying the MINI, he has been in touch to ask if anyone is interested in a trade-in he was offered last week:

Elise 111r
2005 54 plate (I believe)
47k miles approx
FSH from Murray Lotus
4 owners
Dark met grey colour
Includes hard top

Ticket price £13,500

Now I wouldn't make a habit of this, before anyone screams "free advertising for a commercial outfit". The only reason I've done it is the car will otherwise go straight to auction and won't be marketed any other route in any case, and it sounded like a reasonable buy.

CDW definitely don't do Elises, Richard is only making us aware as an enthusiasts' group. I can't remember if I wrote a personal testimonial about the service from CDW when buying our MINI, but frankly it was brilliant for a second hand car dealer. Albeit one that's backed by the Eastern-Western group.

I've no further interest in this, but if you have, contact Richard Fairnie on 0843 357 2536. And of course Murray Lotus may be able to give an insight on the maintenance history if you ask the right person...
